Bullets in a resume

[BillH]

I sent in an earlier posting about adding bullets in a resume. I have a Capabilities section with the word capabilities on the left margin, and I want to tab over and bullet the text on the same line as Capabilities. When I try this, it moves the word Capabilities over in line with the text below it, and puts the bullet in front of the word Capabilities. The response was to use a table with capabilities in the first column and the bulleted items in the second column. I can't figure this one out. The second option was to manually format the line by typing the word Capabilities<Tab>Bullet<Tab>Text. This seems so simple, but when I try it I still get the same behavior as described above. The word Capabilities moves over in line with the text below it, and the bullet is in front of the word capabilities. I tried it in a fresh document and got the same behavior. Is there some option I have to hit to make it format manually? Thank

Not sure I understand the problems you're having. What can't you figure out
about using a table? Insert a table, one row, two columns. Remove all
borders. In cell one type the word 'Capabilities'. In cell two type your
list, select, apply bulleting.

Method two: Type the word 'Capabilities'. Press tab. Insert the bullet
symbol. Press tab. Type the first list item. Press enter. Type the rest of
your list. Apply bulleting the rest of the list, not the first item. Now set
the tabs on the first line to make the bullet and text line up.
